OBITUARY OF ANNIE BAKER

Died, Sept. 23, 1869 of Typhoid Fever at the residence of her father-in-law 
near Lowndesville, S.C., Annie, wife of Albert T. BAKER and daughter of Esan 
and Delphia BROOKS. She was born in Edgefield county, on Dec. 16, 1846. She 
early felt there was a void in her heart nothing earthly could fill, and 
wisely she sought and found in God, the rest her soul desired and made a 
covenant by sacrifice with God and joined the Baptist church and consecrated 
her life to His service.

During her short illness she often expressed her entire resignation to the 
will of God and with joy would exclaim, "Bless the Lord, oh, my soul". It is 
sad to know that one so loved in the associations in life, one, who gave so 
much of sunshine to her own family circle, has been taken away by death.

On earth, her soul was but in the bud. She went to a fairer clime, that she 
might blossom. She leaves a devoted husband, an infant child, an aged 
mother, kind brothers and sisters and many friends to mourn her loss, which 
to her, is eternal gain.
